Really the posts were censored by Steemit as they are still on the blockchain. I can see my old posts on Steempeak with a direct link, but my profile says there are none. Unfortunately Steempeak relies on some stuff Steemit provide to show the post list, but I don't expect them to do any more development since they moved to Hive.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
My view is: Any method that is used to conceal or impede free access to material that would ordinarily be accessible by an authority be it government or service provider is Censorship. "A rose by any other name...." and all that.
What Steemit have done is definitely censorship and seriously devalues their platform even if there are other ways to see the content as they are the main destination for Steem now. They just couldn't stand to have any dissenting voices. Now I have sold all my STEEM I have no reason to go there.
I'm maintaining my Steemit account simply to gain SBD which I then use to buy Hive. Already done it once. LOL
They started to censor at the node level, and no one wants to run nodes for Steem.
Censorship is not only the removal of information but also the obstruction of it being freely available.
While you can say it is not censorship as it still exists, that is not the only requirement for censorship.
Censorship is the suppression of information not the removal.
I agree Steemit have censored content as they make it hard to see on their own site. They try to pretend 'this is fine' whilst their house burns down (meme in text!). I am done with them.
I don't think they even care enough about what people think to pretend it is fine.
